According to CCTV5 program list (January 7, 2024), UEFA held a group draw for the Euro 2024 qualifiers in Zurich. A total of 55 teams competed for 24 places in the finals. Among them, defending champion Italy and last runner up England were divided into Group C together, becoming the most concerned "group of death".
The European Cup qualifier will start on September 15, 2022 and continue to end on May 28, 2023. It will be divided into 10 groups. The first and second place of each group will be directly promoted to the finals, and the other two places will be created through the play off. The teams participating in the play off will be determined by the results of the European National League.
In the drawing ceremony, the match between Italy and England was undoubtedly the most eye-catching. After 120 minutes of fierce fighting in the final of the last European Cup, Italy finally defeated England 3-2 in the penalty shootout to win the second European Cup trophy. This encounter, both sides have a strong desire for revenge or defending the championship, and it is expected that a wonderful confrontation will be staged.
In addition to Italy and England, there are three teams in Group C: Ukraine, Northern Macedonia and Malta, which are relatively weak, but they should not be underestimated. Ukraine defeated Northern Macedonia 1-0 in the group match of the last European Cup, and Northern Macedonia defeated Germany 2-1 in the World Cup qualifier, showing its excellent fighting power. Malta is a regular visitor to the European Cup qualifiers, but it has never reached the final circle, and will face huge challenges this time.
The following are the grouping results of the European Cup qualifiers:
